    I guess it depends. Do you like the current platform? I guess you are used to it now and it’s function and handling are well ingrained in your muscle memory. From that perspective, it is well worth...

    I wouldn’t hesitate. I’ve shot a number of reds with the 70gr nbt (which is listed as a varmint bullet) out of a 6x45. They have a really solid base that helps hold it together. The 95 is a whole...

    Sounds like you’re in the ballpark to me. My 6x45 sends a 70gr pill at 2950fps from an 18” barrel. Could go hotter, but not by much, it’s on the ragged edge really…. That’s with H322, a good deal...

    Make sure you hit the shoulder and you won’t have any issues with damn near any projectile in the .308. Keep the shot well forwards and there will be plenty of resistance to get the bullet opening...

    Here we go again… Made a decent start on the latest stock. This one is for a Zastava .223 I have, that was going to be a 6x45. Will stay a .223 for now, because I’ve already got one 6x45. The...

    Well if it were me, I’d be choosing the 70gr Speer because of the sectional density. Stags are thick through the engine room, so I’d want as much penetration as I could get. A 50-53gr Barnes may...

    And so after 89 1/4 hours of planing, chiselling, scraping, sanding and much thinking and looking, here is what I have. This is after the first ‘base coat’ of oil, which now needs to dry a couple of...

    Yes, you can definitely get a new tube put on it. Make it a stainless one, and it’ll last forever.
